                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, April 4, 2006

  Mr. RAHALL. Mr. Speaker, today we extend best wishes on the occasion 
of the 80th birthday of Dominic Peter Torlone of Huntington, West 
Virginia. Born in Logan, West Virginia on April 7, 1926, Dominic has 
lived in Huntington for the past 44 years and was the long-time owner 
and operator of Torlone's Community Bakery, a staple of the Huntington 
community, along with his brothers, Louie and Alfred. His parents, 
Peter and Carmela Maria Torlone, originally opened Torlone's Bakery in 
1946.
  As any Huntington native will attest, Dominic is loved by all in the 
community. He is always ready with a warm smile and cheerful greeting 
for his fellow Huntingtonians, either in English or his favorite 
Italian. He exemplifies the decency and strong citizenship of his 
generation.
  Dominic and his wife, Mrs. Harriet Torlone, are the proud parents of 
four children, Amy Harris, Lisa Koch, Mark Torlone, and Beth Sigall, 
and nine grandchildren. Although he officially retired from Torlone's 
Bakery in 1995, he remains an active member of Huntington's civic 
landscape, devoting many hours of service to worthy causes such as the 
Knights of Columbus and St. Joseph's Catholic Church, where he attends 
daily mass. He is truly a favorite son of West Virginia and we salute 
his continued service to Huntington on this his 80th birthday.
